Russian women Mirra Andreeva And Diane Schneider have become heroes after their performance at the 2024 Games, but Olympic silver will not be their last reward, the former tennis player tells Anastasia Pivovarova .
The Olympic Games took place in Paris in the summer. Andreeva and Schneider lost to the Italian duo Sara Errani/Jasmine Paolini in the final doubles match with a score of 6:2, 1:6, 7:10. It was the first Olympic Games for both athletes.
Earlier, Andreeva, ranked 17th in the WTA rankings, announced the end of the season. The sixteenth racket in the world Schneider is currently playing in a tournament in Tokyo.
— How would you rate the performance of Andreeva and Schneider?
“They are great guys, no one expected (a medal) from them, but they pulled themselves together and showed what they can do at a crucial moment. We just didn’t have enough experience and strength to beat the Italians. There were chances in the final, but the girls missed them.
– Heroines?
– Certainly! They are heroines, they are silver with a golden tint. I’m sure this is not the last Olympic medal for them,” Pivovarova told .
